This is a long-term research study that collects kidney tissue, blood, and urine samples from people diagnosed with glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney inflammation) along with their medical information and health history. The goal is to build a large database that researchers can use to better understand how kidney disease develops and progresses, and eventually help doctors personalize treatment plans for kidney patients.
Right now, doctors treat kidney disease using general guidelines, but patients often respond differently to the same treatment. By collecting tissue samples and genetic information from many kidney disease patients, researchers hope to unlock the genetic and biological secrets of kidney disease, which could lead to personalized medicine that works better for each individual patient.

If you join this study, you will undergo a kidney biopsy (a procedure to collect a small sample of kidney tissue) that your doctor is already planning as part of your regular care. You will also have blood tests, urine tests, imaging scans, and questionnaires about your quality of life completed at your hospital visits. Your medical information and biological samples will be stored in a secure database for researchers to study over many years.
